Description Jeff Gazso 2021-11-29 00:39:41 UTC
In dev-lang/rakudo the DESCRIPTION is wrong.

Current DESCRIPTION="A compiler for the Perl 6 programming language"

This SHOULD read DESCRIPTION="A compiler for the Raku programming language"

The name change was approved several years ago. See: https://blogs.perl.org/users/ovid/2019/10/larry-has-approved-renaming-perl-6-to-raku.html
